Didn't I explain?how can i do that?
Not exactly.if i replace R11 with a 10k pot, will it act as the master volume control?
The collector load resistor for the NPN driver transistor also turns on the NPN output transistor. The voltage gain of the driver transistor is fairly low with the low value collector load resistor when there is no bootstrapping. The base of the NPN output transistor can swing up to about 1.2V less than the power supply voltage and it runs out of base current which causes the horrible distortion. The maximum output power is reduced.what is the advantage of bootstrapping and computations?
My simulation shows 4.0W. To make an unregulated 18VDC supply, you need a 14V transformer driving a full-wave bridge rectifier, or a 27V center-tapped transformer with two rectifier diodes. The transformer voltages are very rare.i am thinking of using 18V source, i have no time to design for the power supply, if i use 18V, what will be the output power?
That is fine, it allows the low frequency response to go lower.in the pre-amp, i replaced 0.47uF capacitor of 1uF because there's no available value of that from the shops i went a while ago.
Feed the input of the amplifier with a sinewave of about 1kHz.creaver31 said:how will i able to compute for the power of the load? i only know a simple formula for a common class AB amplifier, but this miscellaneous biasing confuses me..
Maybe you can fiddle around with a piece of wire used as a clamp.how can i clamp the diodes to the heatsink of transistors?
With a 24V supply, the current in the 2N4401 driver transistor is about 46mA and it has a voltage of about 11.1V across it. Then its heating calculates at 46mA x 11.1V= 510mW which is close to its max allowed dissipation of 625mW at room temperature.wow, 2n4401 is not a power transistor right? so if i us that in my circuit it will probably overheat, am i correct?
